June 09, 2025A Disappointing Detour for This Model Car Enthusiast
I'm usually not one to write reviews, but my experience with Merrymeet Model Cars was a letdown. As a long-time fan of Lotus and a keen model car enthusiast, I was excited to discover a retailer that shared my passion. However, the reality didn't quite live up to my expectations. The website, while comprehensive, was a bit of a challenge to navigate, and I found the search function to be somewhat unhelpful. I had been eyeing the Lotus 78 Superkit, but when I finally placed my order, I was dismayed to find that it was out of stock. What's more, the communication regarding this issue was lacking, and I felt like I was left in the dark for far too long. When I eventually received my order, I was disappointed to find that the packaging was subpar, and one of the models was damaged. For a company that prides itself on quick turnaround times and a personal touch, I expected more. Perhaps I just caught them on a bad day, but as it stands, I'm hesitant to recommend Merrymeet Model Cars to my fellow enthusiasts. With so many other excellent retailers out there, I think I'll be taking my business (and my model car cravings) elsewhere.
